Oil and Water....

yes it sounds like a head gasket, mine did the same thing, what i'd do is let it sit for a day or so, then take out one of your oil drain plugs, if theres coolant in there, thats what will run out first, (letting it sit will let the oil and coolant separate) when mine went bad i pulled the plug and about 4 quarts of coolant came out before i saw any oil at all, needless to say i was shocked, and pissed at the same time, try this and let us know
